About

Kent County Council awarded a contract to Cake Industries for the design and manufacture of the superstructure of a pedestrian footbridge connecting Guildhall Street North to Shellons Street in Folkestone, as part of the 'Folkestone - A Brighter Future' scheme.

The footbridge re-establishes a link severed by the construction of the A2033 link (Foresters Way and Shellons Street) and was proposed by AECOM as a better solution than a previously considered earthwork ramp.

The superstructure contractor will coordinate closely with AECOM, the substructure designer, to ensure design alignment and to prepare the superstructure Agreement in Principle submission for the KCC Structures Technical Approval Process, with both submissions made simultaneously.

The contract value is AUD 178,300.
